Udara's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in October is out of reach without help covering $150 of the cost.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka620 views
Udara was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Colombo Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $150 short.
my husband has been in and out of Colombo Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Udara struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Udara won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $150 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Post-operative medication: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Udara
It's all in the list in the story. pre-operative tests and imaging is the big one at $50, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rooting for you, Dilani. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Bloemfontein donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Colombo
How is Udara doing now?
best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Take care, Dilani. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ibadan.
Best of luck, Dilani. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Lahore.
Praying for you, Dilani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Colombo.
